She lives just over the bridge   And oh how I would give   Almost anything to be her everything      I can't begin to tell you   Of the sights these eyes have seen   But none quite like her   And she's only seventeen      For you I sing this simple melody   La da da da   It was a murder in the first degree   Her motives were unknown   I'd rather die than be alone   With this much, I know it's true   The crimson trail leads back to you      But now that I'm dead   Visions of you   Run through my head   Like home-made movies we made   When we were younger   And now that I'm dead   I wont waste your time   I'll hunt your dreams instead   And you can't run away      For you I sing this simple melody   La da da da   It was a murder in the first degree   Her motives were unknown   I'd rather die than be alone   With this much, I know it's true   The crimson trail leads back to you      And when you fall in love   I hope you fall hard    I hope you fall fast      And when you fall in love   If it gets taken away   I hope you'll say      For you I sang this simple melody   La da da da   It was a murder in the first degree   Her motives were unknown   I'd rather die than be alone   With this much, I know it's true   The crimson trail leads back      For you I sing this simple melody   La da da da   It was a murder in the first degree   Her motives were unknown   I'd rather die than be alone   With this much, I know it's true   The crimson trail leads back to you
